Some day I know you'll be far away
I'll be right here to stay give me one day
Baby baby don't run away come see me
Some day I'll be right here today
Just give me love Rae
To my hood I'm always there for you
Rain hail sleet snow and I'm there
For all the underprivileged yo we here
My life is all in your soul daily since nana left us
She took all of your blessings cuz she been there
My life change yo could never though be without you yo
It's strange when I want it to rain
On my best friend's grooming we all had visions of you
We broke nights God knowing you cared
Peace n***a only for a minute and I'mma break out
Come back and kiss you on your feet here
I love my hood I love my niggas there yo
The older we get we understand you might tear
Some day I Know you'll far away
I'll be right here to stay give me one day
Baby baby don't run away come see me
Some day I'll be right here today
Just give me love Rae
You keep the little young ones happy true
Graduations occured you look so pretty and new
Look at the sky all blue all old people with you
Facilities mailing jail brothers miss you
Wow it gets crazy
When I think about the money you made
Slipped me away but Jakes tried to rade me
Nighshifts smokin' on spliffs you kept yellin'
"Carry your fifth the down the block niggas is gay"
They keep police invadin' your space we can't live
Plus they gassin' the mayor them niggas wanna give you away
We won't have that suburban people mad at the fact
That you be gettin' more company then them
They just be scared of that
"Hood" look at your name spell it backwards
Yo "Dooh" that's what they yellin' in vain
You the realest the most livest
Flyest you part of life
I gotta give you love
Cuz you gave it God and life
Some day I know you'll far away
I'll be right here to stay give me one day
Baby baby don't run away come see me
Some day I'll be right here today
Just give me love Rae
Who ever said you ain't do right by me
They frontin' yo
They couldn't understand that we was a team
I used to come out hear you words
Talk to me walk with me brother
Cool try to be succesful and dream
The city lights is on
Now they wanna turn 'em off
Try'nna start some shit
Actin' like you never made a penny for 'em
Dun they doin' you dirty
We had Summer Youth for that though
No need to cry never get worried
You gon' live forever word to mother
Cuz she raised you right
And you got fifty-one brothers
I sat with the trees and had conversations at bees
We talked about throwin' money up landscapin' your knees
You forget that something to talk about
Show me where to take the check
Pay these suckas off and be out
The'll never be another place
Everybody happy to see
That's why I keep coming back to you peace
Some day I Know you'll far away
I'll be right here to stay give me one day
Baby baby don't run away come see me
Some day I'll be right here today
Just give me love Rae
Some day I Know you'll far away
I'll be right here to stay give me one day
Baby baby don't run away come see me
Some day I'll be right here today
Just give me love Rae
